Greek legislative election, 25 January 2015

The Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras was forced to announce an early general election for the 25 January 2015 after the Greek parliament rejected his candidate for president on the third round of voting on the 29 December 2014, throwing the country's international bailout from the IMF and EU into doubt.
